QUOTED: Mel Lastman rates Rob Ford’s intelligence

—former mayor Mel Lastman, with a jab at Rob Ford (and a simultaneous mini-dig at himself as well). Unlike Ford’s direct predecessor, David Miller, who has been somewhat cagey with his criticism, Lastman explicitly called out Ford for his bullishness and pronounced, “You can’t be that stubborn and run a city.” Of course, Ford and Lastman can go gaffe for gaffe: Both have let slip damaging racistcomments,threatenedreporters and shown terrible judgement chummingaround with the wrong people. All of which makes Lastman’s put-down even more damning. [Toronto Sun]
